There's probably a lesson to be learned with how Chicago managed their cap issues after their first Cup win vs. how Boston managed.

I remember after our crappy trades and going on our board. Don't need that PTSD reminder.

For all the hype that Kessel package got, Boston has now traded away all of it
So to summarize they turned Kessel, Rich Peverley, and Ryan Button into #15, #45, and #52 in this year's draft, Zack Phillips, Joseph Morrow, Reilly Smith, and Matt Fraser.

QU! Bobcats!
Net return from Kessel has turned into:
Loui Eriksson
Reilly Smith
Joe Morrow
15th overall 2015
45th overall 2015
52nd overall 2015
That's not good.

We're in much better shape that the Bruins even for the long-term, but your point is well taken.

So, in the last decade or so, the Bruins have traded Thornton, Kessel, Seguin, Boychuck and now Hamilton, and have arguably lost every trade so far.

It's incredible that they couldn't do ANYTHING else here. http://capfriendly.com/?p=team-cap&team=Boston Bruins
Is Krejci worth over 7 mil? How about Chara, at this point? Chicago is doing the right thing, trying to get someone to pay too much for "veteran leadership" in Sharp so they can retool. Meanwhile, Boston trades the one guy they're supposed to keep in their retooling process and doesn't get an elite asset in return. You couldn't have managed the situation worse.

Agreed on the sarcasm. Snow really needs to make sure he has a plan if Okposo is getting re-signed.

Holding off until he signs with the Flames at that number but that is baffling if true.
didn't we give Boston 2 2nd rounders this year? So does that mean they now have 5 2nd round picks? WTF are they doing with all of those?
If the general consensus was that Hamilton was more valuable than the #3 OA and then they traded him for what they got either people were WAY off in their valuation or the B's just got bent over right good because there's no way Zona doesn't hang up the phone if someone offered them #15 and 2 2nd rounders for #3 OA.

Sounds to me like the Bruins are making room for someone big.
A local guy maybe?
Young defenseman?
Hockey East kid?
I know just the guy:
You're going home my sweet.

The condition wasn't met for that 3rd BTW (it was if we traded Boychuk to an Eastern Conference team).

They have to do something with all those second round picks, why not.

I don't think that Toronto is going to get anymore than that for Kessel when they move him.
